CIGARMAKBRs QUARREL.

The International Union ard the Tenement
Manufactures at War.
NEW YoRs, December 24.-Just now it
looks as if there was going to be red-hot
war in few days between the Cigar
makers International Union and the
tenement cigar manufacturers.
There is a rumor afoat that the manu-
facturers will not only return to their
tenement system, but that general re-
duction will be made about the first OF the
year, and that the Union is prepared to
fight both.
1t is feared now that there may be a
general strike and that thousands of cigar
makers will soon be out of work. depend
ing on the Union. The treasury of the
Union, however, can stand long struggle,
as the Union is one of the largest in the
United States, and is conducted on most
admirable system. The Union at one time
spent 5000, 600 OIL strikes in two years, and
is prepared to enter the contest again with
a full treasury.
The employees Of two factories have al
ready been notified that their wages will
be reduced from 81 TO 81 per thousand
after january. The manufacturers claim
that reduction is necessary in order for
them to compete with outside parties, hut
the Union is not of the same opinion, and
will fight the matter to the bitter end.
The strike, if it takes place, will have the
support of the Federation of Labor, as the
Cigarmakers' International Union is a
member OF that body.

COIN CERTIFICATES.
A Proposition to Issue Them and Relieve
Gold and silver Certificates.

"A Proposition to Issue Them and Relieve
Gold and silver Certificates.
Special telegram TO the Sunday REGISTER.
WAsHINGTON,i December $50 many
Senators and Representatives have an
nOuuced bills looking toward cessation
of gold and silver coinage, the retirement
of gold and silver certificates, the deposits
in the United States mints and the Treas
ury of gold and silver bullion and the issu-
ance OF coin certificates to be redeemed in
either the bullion or gold OI silver, that 1t
begins to look like something would be
done in the direction indicated.
In the larger cities of the most thiCkly
populated States the circulation of silver
dollars has materially diminished with the
past year, and the silver certificates of the
denomination of one and two dollars have
taken their place, but the books at the
Treasury Department show that many
millions Of silver dollars have gone ont in
to the country, especially into the country
beyond the Mississippi. There exists a
severe prejudice against metallic money in
the great commercial centers, but even il
silver coinage and that of gold is stopped
the money will continue in circulation to
considerable extent, but will 20 to and stay
in the sections which are being built up
most rapidly.
In support of the proposition to stop
Coinage, deposit bullion and issue bullion
certificates it is argued that the rapidly
changing condition OF financial affairs make
it necessary to institute new financial
foundation every few years, and that the
expense of coinage therefore becomes a
law, while paper money is always prefer
red TO that of metal. Of course, if this
proposition is adopted by Congress the Gov
ernment will assume, in receiving bullion
aud issuing certificates for it, redeemable
in either gold or silver money, to estab-
lish definite market price for gold and
silver bullion. But this is not more than
the Government has already done, in de-
claring that 80 much gold and silver in
coin will be redeemed in current money
upon presentation. With the gold and
silver bullion in the Treasury ii is agreed
that the Government reserves the expense
of coinage, making more desirable cur
rency in bullion certificates, and retains
the option to set up new standard with
the least inconvenience.

RYAN KNOCKED OUT
In Three Very Hard Fought Rounds by
Jack McAulife.

Jack McAuliffe.
SAN FRANCISCO, December "a
"Paddy" Ryan and "Jack" McAuliffe met
in the 1s-foot ring of the California Ath-
letic Club last night Both men appeared
in fine condition. The directors of the
club informed the combatants that no or
dinary foul would be taken notice of as
the club was putting up $1,000 to be
fought for, and the spectators who paid $40
piece should have the worth of their
money.
Itwas agreed that if the police stopped
the fight in the first round, or before the
men began, they were to get Sl25 each to
pay for their training expenses If the po-
lice stopped the fight after the eighth round
each man was TO receive $500. II the
fight was fought to finish and it was de-
cided it had been won fair, the victor was
to get 81, 900. These provisions were con-
sidered necessary, as since Ryan was
knocked out by Sullivan his stock
has been very low here, and the belief
was general that McAuliffe would win. Nc
Auhffe stripped at 200 pounds and he won
the fight in three of the worst fought
rounds possible to imagine. In the second
round Ryan was knocked down twice. The
third was all a scramble. Ryan was groggy
and McAuliffe was too awkward to hit him.
Ryan threw MP the sponge on the fourth
round being called. His truss slipped in
the first round. McAuliffe's father, who
was present, bet all the money he had on
his how

On Banks he was especially severe, accus-
